I Now Hate Owls
i just hit an owl doing 65 destroyed my new windshield (less than 2 years old) this sucks to the nth degree with my wife being pregnant, no job, former bosses fighting my unemployment, LIFE JUST SUCKS NOW....... question is which i am pretty certain but figured i would ask all of you first will a 67 windshield fit a 66? any info on yes or no would be appreciated

I almost had the same thing happen, it was dark I was hauling down a two lane and a big a$$ owl appeared right in front of me.......... After the a terrible screech from the roof I climbed out from under the dash and got the car back on the road I got out and found a crazy mark through the dust on top of the car.

Eli, take pic's, perhaps if able to salvage what's left, should the insurance company have an issue you can present it with the claim?

Dang Dude....it looks like to me you were LUCKY!
It wouldn't have taken too much more for that bird to have come THROUGH the windshield and into your face....that would have been even worse!

i don't know about in my face he hit real low as you can see just barely above the hood i wish he would of hit the grill or hood instead of windshield though.....when i was a kid my uncle Mark hit a buzzard and it came into the cab with him and apparently going through the windshield only enraged the buzzard who went nuts inside the cab of the poor truck screeching clawing and beating him with his wings and then puking all over the dash and seat..... when uncle Mark finally got stopped he got out of the truck puking and cussing the dang buzzard flew away he swears the buzzard stalked him for a couple years
